Can you please explain free will with regard to angels and souls
after death? I'm particularly confused in that Satan was able to
choose to live with and obey God, or not, but in the New Testament
Jesus commands the demons to leave a person and they have to
obey. Even in rosary stories by St Louis de Montfort the demons
obeyed the Blessed Mother to leave a person. Do angels and souls
who have gone to heaven or hell have free will? Also, are the
demons souls that have gone to hell or are these all fallen angels?

Please help me understand this a little better.

Diane,

Just because the fallen angels still have free will does not mean they will get everything they wish for. They are limited in what they can get. Only God is absolutely unrestrained in the power of his will. All creatures are limited.
